<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I apologize for the wide dissemination, but I thought this
was the best medium to get the word out to everyone. As most of you are
aware, we’ve had a change of personnel at CollabNet with respect to OSGEO
consulting support. <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Daniel Brookshier</st1:PersonName>
is no longer with CollabNet, Auke Jilderda (<a href="mailto:auke@collab.net">auke@collab.net</a>)
will take up the reigns, with support from myself. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I wanted to also say we’re doubling down our efforts
to support this community. We acknowledge that we need to do a better job
of reaching out to and interfacing with the community, meaning the Foundation
members as well as key FOSS project owners. We also aim to improve our
responsiveness to community concerns with respect to the decision of using the
current site to host projects. Though the CollabNet platform is a tried
and true solution to building successful open source projects, these are
strategic decisions you are faced with, not to be taken lightly. I
personally think the true strength of the CollabNet platform and services lies
in the strength of community, meaning multiple projects collocated together, gaining
market presence, leveraging best practices, sharing tools, resources and ideas,
creating solutions rather than disparate applications. It’s a 1+1 =
3 philosophy. It is my hope that we can exhibit that value going forward,
which is in effect the marching orders that Auke has been given.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Auke has begun the process of reaching out to folks to start
that relationship building, and I expect that will continue for another couple
of weeks. We both agreed that the best approach is to open the lines of
communication with the key Foundation members to get a solid and fresh understanding
of the climate we’re working in, then press forward with proposing and driving
activities. In the meantime, we’re both on the various lists that
Daniel was on, soaking up knowledge and doing our best to ensure nothing falls
through the cracks. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
